Chapter 120: Chapter 112: Potential Legendary, Nationwide Shock

These nobles all came from the Royal Family’s vassal clans.

Their purpose for coming to Rock Lion Castle was more or less the same.

One reason was to build a relationship with him.

The other was to forge an alliance with the Wesley Clan.

Roy knew what they were after, so he refused to see any of them.

In the past, these nobles had the Royal Family as their backer.

But now, from the moment they abandoned the Eldest Prince and returned to their own domains, the Royal Family was no longer obligated to protect them.

Not only that, but the Eldest Prince could, at any moment, use the excuse of purging deserters to uproot them completely.

In a situation like this, they desperately needed an ally who could make both the Eldest Prince and the Ironblood Duke hesitate.

And the Wesley Clan was an excellent choice.

On the surface, the Wesley Clan was merely a minor Baron Clan.

But the existence of Roy and the Dark Night Knight had elevated the Wesley Clan’s status and prestige to a level on par with a Duke Clan.

If there was one shortcoming, it was that the Dark Night Knight had not publicly declared that he had joined the Wesley Clan.

However, even though the Dark Night Knight hadn’t joined the Wesley Clan, everyone else already treated him as one of their own by default.

Because the Dark Night Knight was fiercely protective of his own!

Offending the Wesley Clan meant offending Roy, which in turn meant offending the Dark Night Knight!

After confirming there was no one else in the Cultivation Room, Roy willed it, and his consciousness returned from Chaos Square to the room.

He then left the Cultivation Room, preparing to make a trip to Redwood City to see Sandru.

In another three days, he would have ground out the Bronze Bear Breathing Technique to the Tier Seven Limit.

The day after Tony left Rock Lion Castle, he had found Sandru and asked him to help find an Excellent Level Defensive Breathing Technique.

In addition, he had also used his own name to publicly seek the purchase of Excellent and Perfect Level Breathing Technique Inheritance Maps.

But so far, he had not managed to acquire a single Inheritance Map.

Roy had just returned to the first floor of the main keep when he ran into Catherine.

Upon seeing him, Catherine didn’t hesitate for a moment. She immediately walked up to him and said, "The Eldest Prince has come to the castle. He wants to talk to you."

What?

Roy frowned slightly.

Although he didn’t know why the Eldest Prince would suddenly show up at Rock Lion Castle looking for him, he didn’t waste any brain cells overthinking it. He asked Catherine, "Where is he now?"

"My study."

Catherine replied instantly.

"Alright, let’s go see him then."

Roy said, his expression calm.

"Mm-hm."

Catherine nodded.

Before long, they arrived on the fifth floor, where the study was located.

Things were different from usual.

Previously, the Official Knights standing guard at the study door were all Catherine’s subordinates.

But now, the Knights standing at the door were two strangers Roy had never seen before.

Although he had never seen them, the moment he saw their armor, Roy knew they were Royal Knights.

Because their armor was all branded with the Royal Family’s insignia.

As Roy and Catherine approached, one of the Royal Knights immediately pushed open the study door.

Entering the study, the Eldest Prince, clad in Golden Armor, appeared in their line of sight.

Compared to when he had led the Royal Army and vassal forces to the Tulip Domain, the Eldest Prince looked much more world-weary.

Besides the Eldest Prince, there was also a blonde woman in her early twenties inside the study, whose beauty and bearing were in no way inferior to Catherine’s.

Roy had never met her before.

However, after noticing the woman’s faint resemblance to the Eldest Prince, he knew she must be one of the princesses who had escaped from the Royal Capital.

William II had been killed, but the members of the Royal Family in the Royal Capital had not been wiped out in one fell swoop; quite a few had managed to escape.

Roy couldn’t identify which specific Princess this blonde woman before him was.

The late Old King, William II, had over a dozen daughters, and Roy had never met a single one of them.
